Always love the Fataya & drinks. I always find a vegetarian or seafood dish I enjoy. And even get to practice a little French.

The great: service is excellent, they are courteous, attentive and just nice. The not so good: there are literally 3 pieces of meat in the lamb curry. They were bony spare ribs left over from lamb chops and tough to chew. Would not recommend it to any true food lovers… Also they charge you “ cash adjustment fee”, ie credit card fee…

Everything we tried was delicious. However, the Thiou curry with lamb is so F’n good! You have to try it. It paired well with fufu , plantains and djolof. The servers were nice and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The atmosphere is homey.

My chicken was tuff, it’s pricey and the portions are small. The rice was a little dry, probably old. I’ll skip this place.

Today was my first time having my own cultural food. I’m vegan so I ordered the veggie plate fufu, rice, cabbage couscous with the sorrel drink. Didn’t bring my couscous or drink customer service is a must, investments towards the restaurant should be done, bad location there are no parking

The food was deeply flavored and very well cooked. The fried fish was tender and flaky and the seasoned Yassa on top was like nothing I’ve ever tasted. The Fataya were filled with salmon and warm spices and served with a spicy pepper sauce for dipping. Service was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

One of the greatest restaurants of all time. My favorite main dish is Maffe. Amazing plantains as side/appetizer. Vermicelli, cabbage, Aloco, fufu all great options for sides. Every drink is delicious and refreshing - my favorite is Bissap. I no longer live in Chicago, but this place is one of the things I miss the most.

If their is anyone out there whom encountered a red snapper that looks like this please let me know. I have been eating at Yassa since off of 79th st. However at my age eating red snapper all my childhood now middle age life all of a sudden I do not know what a red snapper is. Well it's not the picture that I attached. I guess I waited in my life for these folks to come here to tell me what a red snapper is. Besides those folks being rude at Yassas they even showed me a raw piece of fish that was pale pink in color and told me that this was the red snapper they prepared for me. The taste was horrible. When I realized I was eating garbage I had gotten sick to my stomach. Folks beware of what goes in your mouth nowadays it can make you 😫 sick.

I just ate here today with my brother and mom and I absolutely loved it. My brother used to live nearby and he and his wife would get takeout often. He wanted me to try it and he was right, the food was excellent! The folks working there were so dang friendly. The artwork all over the restaurant (including in the bathrooms) was beautiful. I highly recommend the food and also highly recommend eating within the restaurant because the music, people, art, and atmosphere were all so nice and welcoming. The only thing I'm not really sure about is the parking. We found a spot about half a block away, but overall parking looks like it might be a challenge. I didn't ask about a parking lot, but I also didn't really see one.

10 10 10 OUT OF 10!!!!! I have only ordered takeout but yall this place has me in a CHOKEHOLD. The dibi chicken…. I— 😭 it’s so good. It’s TOO good. The Senegalese jollof takes for me. So rich and complex in flavor. I also like the sorrel. I’m not gonna lie it’s a little thick for me so I add some water but still 10 out of 10. I recently tried the baobab juice and it was divineeee. Very much like a dessert drink to me, so creamy but also tart and fruit with a flavor almost subtly reminiscent of bubble gum?? Maybe that’s just me. 10 out of 10. Highly highly highly recommend for Malian and Senegalese food. 🇲🇱 🇸🇳

Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Nem and Fataya. I legit had to order some more to go. My first time trying fufu and I was delightfully impressed. I had it the the curry with chicken the flavor was all the way there not over or under seasoned it was just right. For my entree I had the yassa chicken with lamb and jollof rice. It was hot, fresh and delicious. For beverages I had the Bissap and my boyfriend had the ginger. Hands down will be returning. I enjoyed my dining experience very much.

Yesterday I took my son to Yassa to have lunch. My ex husband is Senegalese so I’ve eaten Senegalese food before even cooked it! The food and service here is amazing! While parking can be a challenge it was totally worth it! I ordered grilled fish, my son’s favorite is mafe’ ( lamb stew with peanut butter sauce ) soooo good and fataya for an appetizer ( salmon stuffed style empanadas with a sauce on the side)! U have to get the pungent ginger drink or bisssop ( hibiscus) . Definitely going back and the owner was amazing & pleasant too! The esthetic makes u feel as if u are in Senegal 🇸🇳 eating in a cafe .

NOT SAFE ‼️ The events of our evening on 01/19/24 1)Two of us walked in and sat ourselves. We asked for four drinks as we & waited for the other two to come & 4drinks were brought almost immediately. 2)We continued to order four meals as we continued to wait. Also ordered four appetizers. We discussed how the lady taking the order had a great memory to remember all we had requested without writing any of it down. 3)Shorty after my husband & aunt walk in we get three appetizers instead of the four we had asked, the fourth was brought within a few minutes of reminding the waiter. 4) After about 20min, only three meals were served, we quietly waited for my husband’s meal, I would say about 10min and asked if the meal was coming and realized it was forgotten. He did get it about 20 minus later. 5) lamb, rice over seasoned. If you’ve ever had chebu-jen, do not order it here, trust me just don’t! I had plantain fufu - and greens with meat in it and that was pretty good. 6) The only problem with the greens was I asked that I wanted mine without shrimp and believed this request was honored. 7) I bring the greens home, my niece takes one bite and we end up in the emergency room for the night. 8)The greens that were not supposed to have shrimp definitely had a pretty little shrimp sitting covered in greens. I get that everyone has an off day and it usually takes me a couple visits to determine good service. I however feel there was pure carelessness. Especially when the young lady who waited in us was on her phone every chance she got. WOULD NOT DINE HERE AGAIN

I saw a review on tik tok about how good the food was here. And it wasn’t good at all. It was overly seasoned, the lamb was burnt, and cooked to hard. Lamb is a soft meat, and that wasn’t at all. When we walked in no one greeted us. The one young lady looked dead at us and put her face back in her phone. The guy behind the counter looked at us and looked back at the screen. We proceeded to tell him we’re here to dine in. He gave us menus and walked away. The young lady that was on her phone, grabbed some water out of the cooler. She sat it on the table, and walked away. She didn’t say anything. My sister and I was sitting for a while, and no one came to take our order. I waved the guy to the table. He took our order, he didn’t ask if we wanted anything to drink. When the food finally came out. He sat it on the table and walked away. Not a person in there came to ask was everything okay. This place lacks any customer service skills. The whole of the place was not good, from the entrance to the food. Please do better.

The House Lamb Chops were very well seasoned and the jolof rice was exceptional. The meat was a little tough for me. But the plantain was also very good and made all of the flavors come together. Both of the juices were so delish! We had the Ginger drink and the Zobo-ish tea (I forgot the name, but if you know zobo team, you know the flavors). Overall, the food is worth the experience, but come expecting something different than the American norm. Saluting the Senegalese customs and culinary skills. We are happy you are here! Thanks!

Overall Thoughts: A homey, spacious restaurant with super friendly service, beautiful decorations, and a solid selection of flavorful, traditional dishes. The prices are reasonable for the large and filling portions. This is a family-owned restaurant I’d always be happy to eat at and support! Food I tried: - Yassa Fish with Djolof Rice (4.5/5): The fish was great-- quite boney and salty, but very tender and flavorful. The soft sautéed veggies on top added a nice kick of flavor and texture. The djolof was wonderfully crispy and wasn’t spicy but very well-seasoned otherwise. - Yassa Chicken with Fried Plantains (4/5): The chicken was pretty crispy and juicy, and again, the soft sautéed veggies on top added a nice contrasting flavor and texture. The plantains were flavorful and well-fried. - Maffe with Plantain Fufu (4.5/5): The maffe was good and heavy, with distinct yet somewhat subtle peanut butter flavors. The lamb was very tender, but I wish it came with more— there were only a couple pieces in there. The fufu had a soft, fluffy texture, and was a good pair to this dish for scooping up the maffe sauce. The fufu itself didn’t have much flavor, but it soaked up the flavor of other things pretty well. — Price (relative to peers): 4.2/5 Food: 4.4/5 Ambience: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5

I knew the restaurant before Covid. Was in town today decided to go eat there before heading to the airport. Got there with an empty stomach server first take about 15min to take my order than I place the order 30min later (45 counting the 15 I’ve waited ) a lady comes and tell me they run out of that specific food when I called before coming and I saw they we’re serving bunch of pick up order ahead of me. I was like okay let me get the one you have wait another 15 minutes no food is coming I then took my bag and pay for my drink and left. But that was a way too easy so I went back to talk to them to tell them I’m disappointed, they couldn’t even figure out what happened we here was my food or nothing. I wasn’t there to have free food so I don’t know why they were treating me like I was about to eat for free. Really disappointed.

My first experience. The food was good, but lacked customer service skills. I specifically asked for the lunch specials (even pointed to it in the menu, btw we arrived at noon), but when I received the bill I was charged dinner prices. I mentioned to the lady at the checkout and she asked me why didn’t I send the food back once i seen the bigger portions and also asked me if i knew what a filet fish was since i was served a different style. I calmly told her i never been here before or experienced African food to know better. She basically blamed me for being served something i didn’t ask for, so that is the reason i decided to leave this review due to her shaming me for their mistake. rude and unprofessional!

I took a star away from a year ago only because the food is still really good but the portions have gotten smaller and the prices has went up. Also when I call to place an order, one of the guys who I place my order with is really rude. The woman who answers is really nice. The jollof rice and lamb and chicken is sooo good. Just the portions are small compared to when I use to come over a year ago. A plate for my fiancé and I come out to almost $60. That’s a lot when they lessen what they use to give.

The good: The baobab drink was nice the salmon fatayas were good and the kabob chicken was good as well the customer service was good even though I received my order without the drink that I had bought and had to ask them to get it out of the fridge. The bad: this food would be better served fresh most of it didn’t taste like it was cooked that day. Im pretty sure that the plantains were refried to fulfill my order, I could be wrong though. The curry chicken was not fresh as well it had the perfect flavor but the chicken was slightly pink on the inside which is not my preference. The jollof rice’s flavor was good but once again I could tell it wasn’t fresh. All three items were extremely and I mean extremely greasy the greasiest ones being the plantains and the jollof rice, I couldn’t finish any of the three items. I understand this is America and when something is in demand and scarce you can charge more money especially to the uncultured, but the quality should be maintained at all times if not increasing day by day and my food wasn’t high quality. I don’t know how authentic African food is supposed to taste but I do know good food and I wasn’t satisfied, I suspect that some restaurants are capitalizing off the name/brand of (African Food)because lots of people here wouldn’t know that the food they were served was unauthentic and lacked quality they’re just happy to be tasting foreign food that’s trending at the moment. I hope this restaurant is not doing that and if they are please change for your customers, show us real effort because we put effort into our hard earned money. Don’t capitalize off our ignorance educate us by giving us the best of the best knowledge is power.

The Food is Good there, this is my second time going. But the Customer Service was very poor, The lady that took my order had a very Nasty attitude. Didn't hand me my debit card back to me in my hand like I gave it to her and also the pen. That's very Rude. Also her tone with me was very Snappy. I don't Normally give reviews but I hope they see this and can address the issue with their Employees Thankyou
